During the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022, a 14-year-old boy from northwest #China’s #Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region who once hugged Lionel Messi expressed undying support for his idol.
Clad in a jersey given to him by Messi five years ago, Abduhalik Hemdulla from Yecheng county, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang cheered for the superstar during the semifinal between Argentina and Croatia at the FIFA World Cup.
Abduhalik Hemdulla developed a passion for football when he was a grade-two pupil.
He saved up money for two years and asked his PE teacher to buy him a football with it at the county seat.
